What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the FOX television network, 24: Legacy, is yet another race against the clock to stop a devastating terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Six months prior, in Yemen, Sergeant Eric Carter (Corey Hawkins) and his elite squad of US Army Rangers killed terrorist leader Sheik Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. After the sheik’s his followers declared a fatwah, the squad and their families entered the federal witness protection program. A new attempt on Carter’s life makes it clear that his team is now exposed. He enlists Rebecca Ingram (Miranda Otto), a brilliant and ambitious intelligence officer who has stepped down from her post as National Director of CTU. She’s supporting her husband, Senator John Donovan (Jimmy Smits), in his campaign for President of the United States. The rest of the cast includes Teddy Sears, Dan Bucatinsky, Anna Diop, Ashley Thomas, Charlie Hofheimer, Coral Peña, Gerald McRaney, Raphael Acloque, and Sheila Vand.

Telly’s Take

24: Legacy premiered over two nights, with the first hour airing directly after Super Bowl LI. This greatly skewed the ratings upwards. Plenty of people just kept watching FOX after the game and the ensuing post-game coverage, or didn’t bother turning off the TV. The second hour, which aired the following night, dropped off sharply, and earned much lower (although still respectable) numbers. Later ratings have been a different story. FOX is truly behind this 24 sequel series but the numbers do not bode well. FOX may renew 24: Legacy for a second season but, based on the ratings, they probably shouldn’t.

What is wrong with Fox? Times have changed. Tons of people have watched the show during a binge, after the season finale, and learned to love it. It deserved at least one more season as it was just picking up momentum and gaining a broader audience. There’s no way I would have quit so easily — it would have made it.

24 is one of the BEST shows ever! I have been a 24 fan from day one! Even though Jack isn’t in this one it was still great! And yes, Chole does needs to come back! It was great seeing Tony and hope he continues to be in the show! So Please bring back 24 Legacy!!

Cmon fox I know you think everyone has a 9-5 job and races home to view your channel but the real working class grinds all week and has to Hulu our shows on a weekend marathon, everyone I talked to (and it’s a lot of people) are upset with your choice, it’s a shame you make decisions on people being home for ratorahip.

Awesome show!!! Bring it back for MORE Seasons! The reason MOST shows don’t have high ratings as they’re airing, their first season especially, is because EVERYBODY “Binge Watches”!!! I personally don’t watch shows until I can watch an entire season!!! I Never watch shows weekly!
